Title: Cat material moving?
Post by: dan944 on June 17, 2018, 14:04
Hi people. So as some of you know I had my exhaust made by powerflow a couple of Months ago. Ive popped it off to wrap it and it seems the cat is making a noise as if the material is moving inside the case.
I can't see it at all so now I'm wondering if is normal to have movement inside it.
It's a magnaflow 200 cell cat so thought it would be respectable.

Many thanks in advance.

Does it sound like it's in lots of bits or one big lump?
I think cats have one or more cores of catalytic  material inside the bulge bit, and they should be fixed in there securely.
So, Im pretty sure it shouldn't sound like that, last thing you want is it rattling around and disintegrating further.
